Title: Electro-mechanical actuator device and apparatus incorporating such device
Inventor: WOOD DAVID
IPC: F03G7/06
Filed: 2007-05-23
Abstract: A microgripper (2) comprises a pair of opposed actuator devices (4, 6) connected to an electronic control unit (8). Each actuator (4,6) includes an actuator body 10 of transparent flexible epoxy based photoresist material forming a "hot" arm (12) and a "cold" arm (14) joined together at their ends, and an electrical heating element wire (18) is embedded in the "hot" arm (12). A gripper arm (32) extends from the substrate and has a gripping portion (34) such that the gripper portions of the two gripper arms (32) face each other. When electrical current is supplied to the heating element (18) , electrical heating of the "hot" arm (12) occurs, as a result of which thermal expansion of the "hot" arm (12) causes its length to become greater than that of the "cold" arm (14). Because the "hot" and "cold" arms (12, 14) are joined together at their ends, the increased length of the "hot" arm (12) as a result of its thermal expansion causes the actuator bodies (10) to flex, as a result of which the gripper portions (34) of the gripper arms (32) move closer together.

Abstract: 516,517. Converting. ALLMANNA SVENSKA ELEKTRISKA AKTIEBOLAGET. April 1, 1938, No. 10017. Convention date, April 2, 1937. [Class 38 (ii)] The transition anode described in Specification 407,589 is employed to obtain a reduction of the D.C. voltage of a space-discharge type rectifier in relation to the A.C. voltage without any substantial phase displacement on the'A.C. side. In the form shown in Fig. 1 at some point before the end of the half cycle determined by grid control of the anode 12, 13, 14 the arc is transferred .by means of the transition anode 13 from one of the main anodes 12 to the star point anode 13 which conducts the current until the next main anode 12 commences to conduct. By this means a wave form of primary current somewhat as shown in Fig. 2 can be obtained, this giving a high power factor on the A.C. side at low loads. In a modification the arc is transferred to low voltage anodes instead of to a star point anode. In a polyphase arrangement having a star point anode the control is such that alternate main anodes do not conduct.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the drawing, serving or delivery of beer and other liquids
IPC: B67D1/12
Filed: 1932-04-09
Abstract: 393,396. Dispensing liquids. MITCHELLS & BUTLERS, Ltd. and GRANT, T. E., Cape Hill Brewery, Birmingham. April 9, 1932, No. 10187. [Class 116.] In apparatus for delivering beer or other liquid comprising an intermediate vessel to which the liquid is supplied under pressure from a container, pipes are connected from the upper and lower ends of the container to the top and bottom of the intermediate vessel and during the filling of the vessel the liquid enters against an opposing fluid pressure tending to prevent frothing. The liquid in the container 1, Fig. 7, is kept under pressure from a source 3 connected by a line 4 to the top of the container and a pipe line 2 from the bottom of the container connects to the bottom of the intermediate vessel 9. The liquid in the vessel 9 is maintained under pressure by a line 7 leading to the container 3. When the valve controlled by the handle 11 is moved to admit liquid through the pipe line 2 to the vessel 9, the simultaneous connection of the upper pipe to the source of pressure 3 checks the flow of liquid and prevents frothing. The dispensing operations are controlled by a rotatable, apertured valve member 25 in the form of a disc cooperating with ports in a valve seating 23 and in a cover-plate 26. When the vessel has been filled, the handle 32 is returned to a position in which the ports 42, 49 register with a port 35 connected to the line 7 by which the liquid is maintained under pressure. To draw off liquid the handle is moved so that a groove 51 in the rotatable member connects the ports 42, 43 allowing gas to escape through the snifting chamber 44 to the atmosphere and subsequently a channel 50 connects the openings 37, 38 through which the liquid flows to the delivery nozzle 39. To refill the intermediate vessel, the valve is firstly rotated to the position in which that vessel is placed under pressure from the line 7, and then to the position in which the ports 37, 47 register with the opening 33 connected to the pipe-line 2, whilst the ports 40, 48 register with the opening 34 effecting connection to the line 4 and gas under pressure from the container 3. When the beer has reached a predetermined level in the intermediate vessel 13, a float 18 raises an arm 17 carrying a washer 19, which closes the inlet from the delivery pipe 22. The arm 17 carrying this float 18 is mounted on a removable cover plate 16.

Title: Synchronising systems for phase-difference-modulated data signals
IPC: H04L27/22
Filed: 1973-03-02
Abstract: 1355028 Automatic synchronizing systems SIEMENS AG 2 March 1973 [21 March 1972] 10206/73 Heading H3A In a system for synchronizing locally generated reference carrier and clock signals with received phase-shift modulated data signals, the received modulated carrier and the local reference carrier are compared in comparator PV during each cycle of carrier oscillator to produce a correction pulse for the local clock signal whenever the difference between the phase changes of the two signals exceeds a predetermined amount since the previous correction pulse; the correction pulses are compared with the local clock pulses in comparator KT to produce a signal which shortens or lengthens an interval in the local clock pulse train depending on whether a correction pulse is earlier or later than a corresponding clock pulse; and the clock pulses initiate a further comparison between the received modulated carrier and the local carrier in comparator KR which effects a phase correction of the reference carrier if there is a time discrepancy between them. The received carrier at E, which as described may be modulated to any of eight discrete phase positions, is applied to one input of comparator PV, and a signal of eight times the carrier frequency, derived from a reference oscillator RG via divider FT3, is applied to the other input. The comparator, Fig. 4 (not shown) derives eight equally-spaced phase values of the reference carrier and these are compared with the data signal so that an output pulse is fed to one input of correction circuit KT each time a reference phase is passed through by the data signal. The local oscillator RG also feeds a second frequency divider FT1, FT2 to produce the clock signal which is fed to a second input of the correction circuit KT. The correction circuit. Fig. 6 (not shown), includes a phase comparator whose output adds or inhibits pulses at the input of divider FT1, thus adjusting the clock phase. A second correction circuit KR, similar in form to KT, receives the modulated carrier, the reference signal from divider FT3 and a controlling clock signal from divider FT2. The output from the comparator in this circuit controls the input of divider FT3 to control the phase of the local carrier. A further output from reference oscillator RG is fed via a divider FT5 to a mixer FU in the modulated carrier signal path. The input to divider FT5 is also controlled by the output from KR to provide a coarse control of the local carrier signal.
